Overview

Huge urethane casters steamroll over cracks, cords and more! And with a rugged 800-pound load capacity, kick-action wheel locks, and an expandable steel frame, this heavy-duty base will transform almost any stationary tool into the ultimate portable workstation. Patent Pending.

Technical Details:

The base itself adjusts from 18" x 18" to 28" x 28".

Raises the tool approximately 1" from the floor.

For a larger frame, two extension sets are also available; Extension Set A (28774) and Extension Set B (28834)

Extension Set A includes a pair of longer stretchers that replace two of the four existing stretchers and extend the base-length to anywhere from 26" to 36".

Extension Set B includes four stretchers, which combine with the included base stretchers to increase the overall base length to anywhere from 36" to 50".

For even more range, use two extension sets! Two Set A's will extend the frame up to 36" x 36". Two Set B's will reach up to 50" x 50".

I have a Shop Fox W1669 benchtop radial arm drill press. I need to make it floor mobile and think your mobile floor base, with an extension kit, will work. But...I need to raise the height of the drill press to a usable level. Do you have any ideas? Thanks, Dave.

BEST ANSWER:First, this base is awesome. I can easily move a 500lb table saw with 1 finger. You will want to bolt the drill press onto a table and put that into the mobile base. You might make your own from parts (http://www.rockler.com/how-to/rockler-steel-shop-stands/) or make your own. It may be a little overkill for a 100lb machine, but the base is the best. Good luck.

I recently purchased and installed this mobile base on my Woodmaster 718 molder/planer. To say I'm satisfied would be an understatement of epic proportion. It was a tedious task to move the 600 lb machine from storage to production area, with the casters provided. Now I can move it fore and aft literally with one index finger applying 30 pounds of force. Two thumbs up for this mobile base. And, also, a nod of approval for Rockler being a top-notched company. I do not hestitate to recommend them to my woodworking friends. Every order has been flawless. Thanks.

I bought this mobile base for an old Rockwell/Delta 9" power saw. I have a small garage and I need to roll the saw up a ramp, over a 4" curb when the saw is not in use. The mobile base works great! Very strong and very simple assembly. The only change I would make is to have the castor type wheels on all four corners. I would even settle for a way to purchase two of the castor type wheels and base corners so I could modify the base I already have.

I have a micro workshop and need mobility on all my equipment. I just purchased a 20-950 delta drill press, which weighs in at just under 300 pounds and is extremely top heavy. I was very concerned about a mobile base under this unit. This mobile base works! I attached it to a 24x28x1 inch plywood base and set it in the mobile base with some screws through the spreaders and it is rock solid. For even more stability you could use the supplement spreaders and larger plywood. (Floor space dictated the size I used.) It moves with very little effort thanks to the large wheels. The only changes I would like to see are some holes in the corner plates for attaching plywood and the option to have 4 swivel casters versus 2.

I have a tiny shop and must roll out most of my power equipment across a door ledge onto a car port to produce sawdust. I purchased 2 of the All Terrain bases, one for a 400 pound Makita Planer-Joiner and the other for a 565 pound Delta 20" bandsaw. Both machines can be moved and roll over the ledge with minimal effort. I suggest you bolt top heavy equipment such as a bandsaw to the base to reduce tipping. Great product.

I use this for my MiniMax T3 shaper which weighs a good 400 pounds. It is very stable and it glides very easily. There were no instructions in my box, probably because assembly was dead simple and obvious. It took maybe ten minutes. Lifting the shaper was another matter! I drilled through the corner flanges in the base so I could bolt the shaper to it. It's fairly mild steel which made drilling easy. I highly recommend it.

I order this in june of 2012,I would only get my table saw out if I realy needed it ,now I move it out just to cut one strip if needed.I have an older powermatic table saw with 68 inch rails on it and it is very very heavy,my wife is about 108lbs and she can roll this around my garage over sawdust and chips with no problem at all.this unit maybe a lot of money but it is worth every penny.I have nothing bad to say about this base,also I do not make projects just once a year,Ihave made most of our furniture,cabinets,floor and door trim,furniture for the kids,ect. so the saw is used constantly,only now it's not a back breaker.buy this.I kept forgetting to write this review but now I have,so if your thinking about a mobile base buy it you will not be sorry.

I love this mobile base. I bought this base so that I could put a Grizzly G0623X sliding table saw on it. Basically, it the base made it possible for me to get a sliding table saw for my shop. I can push the saw aside with one hand, but when it's locked down, even with just the two non-full-rotating wheels, it's rock solid.

I have purchased 2 differnt types of mobile stands that did not hold up. The Rockler is by FAR the BEST I have ever purchased or used. It was easily assembled. Excellent wheel locks and can be moved with no effort when necessary. I plan on ordering another one for my planer.

I don't usually leave feedback but after the overly simple assembly and outstanding quality of this base, I just couldn't resist. The base and extension kits are seriously fantastic. Though it is not advertised, I used 2 of the extension "A" kits to create a 36" by 36" size to hold my 250 pound Craftsman radial arm saw. The caster set on my saw is a joke that I have lived with for 18 years. I no longer hesitate to move my saw. You need this base. It is money very well spent.

I purchased this for my cabinet saw and am absolutely pleased with it. My shop is small and I have all my large power tools on wheels to conserve space. I can move my saw around with the push of one finger now. My other mobile bases are anemic compared to this one. This mobile base is excellent and I would recommend it to any woodworker who wants to make woodworking easier.

I have long awaited a mobile base that would really be able to handle my heavy Grizzly cabinet style table saw. I have tried at least 3 other kinds of bases but none has done the job like this one. It rolls and turns effortlessly and stays level. A little pricey but worth it. I highly recommend it for heavy machinery.

A few weeks ago, I moved the engine hoist into the shop, lifted the planer & rolled this base under my Sunhill 15 planer (approx. 450 lbs). It is now very easy to move. How easy?? Well I can move it w/ my manual wheelchair pushing it & use one hand to turn it. The 5 wheels are the cat's meow!

This base replaced a SF base for my MM16 bandsaw. At 530lbs, this is no lightweight machine. With the Rockler base, moving the tool is effortless. I'm considering ordering another one for my shaperThe price tag was a "con" but after pricing a custom base @ $479, this was an economical choice.Great product!

This is by far the best mobile base that I have found for my Delta contractors saw. This was the third mobile base I bought for it! I know the price is a bit high but I already spent over $100.00 on two previous mobile bases.

I purchased this mobile bas for my stationary planer over the rest because of the wheel size and locking casters (vs. the bases where you have to fiddle with knobs or pedals to lock the base in place). The fit and finish quality are very good. While I believe the price is too high, I couldn't find another mobile base that fit my needs for the money. I also had to purchase the extension bars because it was too small by an inch, so that added an additional $20+ to the purchase price. Now I want to upgrade the rest of my mobile bases to this one too!

This is my second review. I purchased a second Rockler base for my Shop Fox shaper. I never realized how poor the old base was until using the Rockler base.The Rockler design is simple yet effective. High quality construction; excellent fit and finish.You get what you pay for for Rockler. The price tag is well worth it!!

I was concerned about getting a quality mobile base to use under my new planer. I had been burned in the past by other companies mobile bases that claimed high ratings and failed quickly under load, or were just plain hard to move around. The Rockler All-Terrain Mobile Base was easy to assemble taking just a few minuets. The casters were huge compared to the other tools in my shop. Almost everything on the base was welded. Because the front of the planer I was putting into the base was curved I cut a piece of ply to go in the base. After placing the 600lb planer on the base I was pleased to discover that it was easy to move. And I mean super easy! It is easier to move than tools half its weight on other bases. This has become my go to base. A bit more money but a lot more quality.

I have purchased mobile bases for all my heavy tools and some of the earlier ones also came from Rockler. This one certainly is the best of the lot. It was super easy to assemble and install even with the extension bars and this mobile base is very well constructed.

This is just what I needed to move one very heavy table saw around and EVEN outside my shop!! I built a movable base that would fit my Craftsman semi-cabinet saw, but the saw was just too heavy. I have a small shop and sometimes have to move the saw out on my carport to rip longer pieces. This would be a two man job! Dragging the saw out even using a ramp to the carport level (4 inches lower than my shop floor)was such a big job, it really discouraged me from enjoying my saw. This new Rockler base solves the problem. I now easily move my saw with two fingers and out on the carport by myself with hardly any effort! The quality is top notch! No instructions are included in the box. Why? Because everything comes almost completely assembled. My saw was on this base in 20 minutes after opening the box. It would have been 15 minutes, but I was short a lock washer and had to go find one to fit. But that is my only gripe and I am not sure that I didn't lose the washer myself! It took me a long time to make up my mind because this is a pretty expensive mobile base. But my wife, who watches my tool spending like a hawk, after seeing the ease that I moved my saw around, said "Why didn't you buy that base a year ago? It sure would have made your life much easier!" And I said, "Because this is a brand new product". Enough said.

I just bought a 15" surface planner that took 5 people to load in the back of my truck and 3 people to get it out of the truck. It must weight between 600 and 700 lbs. My son and I could had trouble just moving it around the shop. I new I needed to do something because my son was leaving to join the Air Force. I saw this mobile base and had to give it a try. I was not disapointed with this buy, I can move this heavy planner around very easly.

I have a Steel City 20" planner at 790 pounds in a two car garage.This base is wonderful. Expensive but it does the job. I added the extension kit "A" and it did not detract from the strength.If you have a heavy machine, pay once and be happy.

I love this mobile base! I have had a Delta 10-inch contractor's saw for over 20 years. I bought it and Delta's mobile base for it. I've squashed my toes, and strained my back innumerable times over the years moving the saw. I just purchased a new Delta 14-inch bandsaw and realized I needed a mobile base for it. I ordered Rockler's base, had it together within fifteen minutes, and installed under my bandsaw in another fifteen minutes. I move this 240 pound saw anywhere in my garage shop and out on the driveway, with ease! I like this base so much, I called and ordered one for my old Delta 10-inch contractor's saw. They are rather expensive bases, but what is safety, ease when using, and comfort worth? I'll always order this base for any heavy tools I purchase in the future!

I purchased a band saw and three of us never lifted it because it was too heavy, we scooted it around and laid it down on its back in a trailer to load it and stood it back up in my garage.I had to modify the Mobile Base by bending two of the extension brackets and drilling a couple of holes because the base of the band saw has a kind of an "L" shape rather than a standard square base. So the Mobile Base design lends itself to being modified to different machine base designs.To the main part, I can now roll the band saw around with just one hand, sweet.

I just purchased and very large/heavy Jet band saw. I don't have a large workshop area and know, at times, I will have to move it out of it's parking spot for cuts on larger stock. I spotted the Rockler All-Terrain Mobile Base and was instantly interested. 'All terrain'?, could I take my saw 'off roading' ? Looking at the size of the wheels, probably could. The nice feature is they are are on brackets which keep the base frame close to the floor for great stability. Off to my local dealer to get one. My base is now together and the saw is on it. The whole rig moves with finger pressure when I want it too thanks to those wheels and holds in place with the wheel locks 'on'. I have other bases from the past under other equipment in my shop, but this is definitely the best ! Assembly went fairly easily. IF I wanted to nit-pick, just a few minor items. There are no assembly sheets, assembly is supposed to be intuitive, but for those like me who have moments of mental density: Inside the box are 4 wheel/frame assemblies and 4 extension bars drilled with holes to match up with holes in the wheel frames, and a poly bag of nuts, bolts and lock washers. It's simply a matter of matching up the appropriate holes to get the dimensions you want for the base. At first I was placing the extension bars along side the wheel frames but the bolts wern't long enough to make it through. Then I noticed that the wheel frames are bent to form 'tunnels', inside which the extension bars slide. Would have been nice if something pointed that out in the beginning. So now the bolts were long enough, or were they? With the lock washer and nut both on and tightened, the bolt made it only half way through the nut, holding on by just a couple of threads. Could forget the lock washers I suppose. The other issue has to do with EVERYTHING I have put together made in China. When other countries produce nuts and bolts, the threads at the end of the bolt taper in slightly before ending. This makes getting the nut lined up and started properly with out cross-threading far easier. But not the Chinese, their threads just end which makes getting the nuts started on the bolts a challenge at best. Maybe someone will tell them. And you better be well-equipt with a good set of open end/box end/ratchet/ allen wrenches to put their stuff together. One suggestion. I put the FRONT of my saw on the end of the base with the fixed/non-castoring wheels. This provides better lateral stability and easier access to the wheel locks. Unfortunately, when rollong the base, the wheel locks on the castoring wheels face the 'outside' on one wheel but are hidden on the 'inside' on the other, making it difficult to get both brakes 'on' at the same time. So I keep them behind the saw. Even with these minor failings, I still give this mobile base highest marks, it's performance is great !

I have to admit I was skeptical about buying such an expensive base, but I can now say it was definitely worth it! I installed this on my Craftsman contractor saw and it really does make moving the saw almost effortless. I have a basement shop and the floor is less than perfect, the house itself is 100 plus years old and the floor has its issues. The stand rolls right over the imperfections with no problem. I am one of those people that wasted money on several other mobile bases before getting this one. Each of them was less than perfect to say the least, and the idea of lifting my saw by the fence rails every time I need to move it just seemed ridiculous. None of that with this stand, just unlock the wheels and roll the saw in place. And when I’m done, roll it back to the corner out of the way. If I add up the money I wasted on other stands and had just bought this model first, I would have saved money.

Item arrived in a sturdy box on 7 Aug 13. Set it up on the 8th. Placed my Jet 6" long bed jointer on it. Previously, this tool had been placed on a mobile frame with 2" wheels and was very difficult to move around. It also left marks on the floor. The mobility of this tool on the Rockler mobile base with the large wheels is just amazing. I'm ordering another one for my bandsaw.

I was amazed how easily I could push around my Delta Unisaw (vintage 1976, 400+ Lbs) on the rough concrete floor of my shop. I just bought another one for the 17" bandsaw and now we'll see how it does with about 600 Lbs. on it. Based on what I have experienced so far, I would say no problems. Simplicity in design, large wheels, fit, finish, and overall quality are all excellent. You get what you pay for. Far better that the Shop Fox bases I have been using.

One of the best mobile bases I've seen in a long time. Well worth the money. Here's a bit of advice to save you time and trouble- if you need to purchase the extension kits to accommodate a larger machine you should do so. I thought I could use my own steel to accomplish that task and it wasn't the same thing and I ended up purchasing extensions from Rockler. While they may look like just plain flat steel they are in reality hardened and rolled with just a slight curvature that makes them stiffer.

I got this to go with a Jet jjp-12 jointer planer for my small shop. The shop has a very uneven floor and other mobile bases were both flimsier and much more likely to bottom out. This is simply amazing in how well it works with the 530 pound jointer/planer.

I've got a Grizzly G0690 table saw on this 500 pounds and I can roll it around with one finger. All four wheels lock down securely and when locked, the saw is as stable as if it were sitting on the floor. There's a reason this mobile base is the most expensive one out there and it's worth every penny. Construction is robust. The steel is thick, welds are well-finished and the wheels are beefy with positive locking mechanisms. But it's not perfect out of the box. After about $8 in parts, the stand is perfect! read on. The only negative comment I have is on the included machine screws used to assemble the base! they are too short. When properly assembled with the lockwasher and flat washer, the included 5mm pretty sure they are 5mm 3/4" long screws aren't long enough for the nuts to fully thread on. Only about half the nut makes it onto the threads. When you're putting 300+ pounds onto this mobile base, this is a major concern. The reason the manufacturer used this screw length was so that if you assemble the base to "look pretty" with the heads of the screws facing out, the screws/nuts don't protrude too far inside the base, taking room away from whatever machine you're going to put in there. Being that the base adjusts from 18" to 28" square there's plenty of extra room for 99% of the folks out there. A quick trip to my local big-box home improvement store and I bought 1/4" diameter, 1" long Grade 8 machine screws, lock/flat washers and nuts. Total cost about $8. The 1/4" diameter even fits a little better than the included screws and the additional 1/4" length allows the nuts to fully thread on. I don't know what grade the included hardware is they aren't stamped with any markings but with the shear force of 500+ pounds, I only trust Grade 8 hardware. Haven't read about any hardware failures with the stock screws, but I don't take chances. Especially not when $8 worth of insurance is so cheap and easy. Can't recommend this base enough. It is all that and a bag of chips.

Most of my shop equipment is sitting on Rockler's Mobile Bases band saw, router table, Miter Saw table. Now my very heavy, old Sears Jointer/Planer sits on the All Terrain Mobile Base. Although its a couple hundred pounds, it rolls around the shop and over power cords quite easily. The usual excellence we expect from Rockler's products.

Definitely solid enough to hold the advertised weight, rolls easily and locks down well. There is one thing to look out for. I bought it to put my bandsaw on with the factory base cabinet, but the door wouldn't open that way. The non-swiveling casters block the sides.

I bought this All Terrain Mobile Base for my new Sears Craftsman table saw that weighs 400 pounds. With this base I can move my saw from my small shop to our back yard so I can deal with full sheets of plywood and good sized lumber. The base is well made and it was easy to assemble and connect to the saw. It is worth the money.

I looked for a mobil base for a recent cabinet saw purchase. After considering the products on the market I settled on the Rockler All Terrain. It handles my 500 lb saw with ease, even over my un-even old concrete floor. The wheels are large but set up above the base to keep the elevation low. They lock easily and the base structure is built solid. My final decision to purchase this product was the knowledge that all the Rockler products I have bought have been better than expected.

A great mobile base for my unusual project. I have spent several years assembling an F-4 Phantom ejection seat and because of its size 5" tall and 250+ lb weight it is very difficult to move around. This base was easy to assemble, it only took 5-10 minutes. The base is easy to adjust, I also purchased the extension set A, and now my "seat" can move anywhere with the slightest touch. This base is good for anything in your shop.

Rockler's mobile base is fantastic. Easy to assemble and beats all of the competition without question. I can push my Delta contractor saw about with one figure - really!!! A quality product worth the added cost.

I purchased this base for my new table saw over 2 yrs ago. It is still working great! I was concerned about the cost and longevity of any mobile base with 600 lbs of dead weight on it, but this one can handle it. I periodically move the saw around and it still rolls without problems - no flat spots in the wheels and it rolls over small debris on the floor. I liked it so much that I purchased another one for my homemade router cabinet - overkill considering the much lighter weight.
